Times and David Walsh have taken out this full page ad in the Chicago Tribune, with 10 questions they want Oprah to ask Lance in tomorrow’s interview.

Looks to me like the Chicago Tribune

723

Isn’t Oprah’s studio based in Chicago? Surely that’s why it was printed there.

724

It was taken out in the Chicago Tribune because that is where Oprah lives and where her show is based.
But it more symbolic than anything, as in this day and age it really doesn’t matter which major newspaper they put it in, as it would be all over the internet within hours and no one reads actual paper newspapers anymore anyways.

725

Would you go way and take a big shite and relieve some of the pressure off of your brain.

You’re probably overthinking this.

728

The Tribune is the bigger of the two Chicago dailies.

730

The Sunday Times took out an ad in the Tribune. Exactly as he said.

731

The Sunday Times (London, UK, employer of David Walsh, and sued for libel by Armstrong and attempting to recoup $1.5m from that libel case) took out the ad in the Chicago Tribune (hometown newspaper of Oprah).
Clear???

Because Walter, they don’t take drugs, they don’t cheat and they don’t destroy peoples lives. They enrich people’s lives with the sheer joy of their football.

734

Guardiola did take drugs though.

Idiot

736

Guardiola tested positive for steroids and it’s a well known fact that Messi was pumped full of steroids as a kid. They did the same as Armstrong only one is being vilified in a sport where drug abuse is rife whereas the other two did it to take advantage of a relatively clean sport - you can argue that Messi was too young to be able to make a moral judgement but his lack of guilt about the fact that he owes everything he has to cheating and steroids is galling. If he had any sense of dignity he would hand back all his Ballon d’Ors.

737

Fair point about Guardiola, I was talking more in the context of him as a coach rather than player.

I am intrigued about you comments regarding Messi though Walter. What evidence exists regarding this drug taking?

738

Fisty clamped but still waffling

739

You have been doing that for years man.
